Dr. Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, has called for the arrest of clerics who attended the unveiling of Kashim Shettima as the running mate of Bola Tinubu.
Many Nigerians, especially Christians, have risen against the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress for the 2023 presidential election.
Shettima was on Wednesday unveiled as the vice presidential candidate of the APC at an event in Abuja with about 30 persons said to be pastors and Bishops from across the country.
Their presence at the event had raised claims that they were fakes, especially as the Christian Association of Nigeria also disowned the clerics.
In a video on his Facebook page on Friday, Enenche bashed the clerics and those who brought them to he event.
He said, “You know there is a contest going on in this country right now where some criminals paraded themselves as bishops.
“That is the level to which the criminal leadership of this country has descended into. You see like begets like, those who sent them are like them. That is an impersonation of the highest order and they should be arrested and tried.”
But reacting to the development, the Tinubu Campaign Organisation had refuted claims that the bishops and pastors were fake.
The Organization said- “We want to say that those clergymen were not fake, not mechanics or yam sellers as the purveyors of hatred have made Nigerians to believe in the social media. They are not big names in Christendom yet, they are gradually building up their missions.”
